“When my brother and sister in law were planning their marriage they ran around their city for two weeks trying to find someone to officiate. The problem? My brother is Catholic and my sister in law is Hindu. Neither wanted to convert.

I wonder what kind of clothes, shoes, books, computer games, or any other wonderful things out there I could buy with that money?”

“Your post proves my point. It's easy to discuss the flu or SARS because of the way they are transmitted. If we have a graphic discussion about how HIV is transmitted people start to blush.”

“It's denial. Total denial.
Parents don't want to think that their children will make the same mistakes that they do. Some try to create a fantasy world where everything is perfect and their children are like the prince and princesses in the fairy tales.
When confronted with reality (ie scientific data) they go into denial or get angry. Nothing can disturb their creation of reality.
This new study won't change anything. It's going to take a jolt to wake people up. A huge jolt.”

“Mr. Yarrow,
There is a very simple solution to your anger. Sue the pants off Rush and the RNC.
They used your music without permission, and I think I can safely say, you wouldn't have granted permission had you known the theme of the song.
The only thing people like Rush and groups like the RNC understand is money. H!t them where it hurts.”

“How about Andrew Sullivan? Or even Christopher Hitchens? Other than these two Brits, I can't think of one American "conservative" currently writing who is not a 1) bigot, 2) moron or 3) bigoted moron. Victor Davis Hansen? He's fine if you enjoy analses of modern politics based on events that occurred 2500 years ago. Charles Krauthammer? He should stick to psychiatry and leave the insights to actual adults. George Will? He Won't. Cal Thomas? Sneering self-righteousness from a drooling idiot. Sorry folks, the cupboard is bare when it comes to cogent conservative pundits.”

“The funny part is that drunk driving deaths have decreased steadily since 1982. Why? Education and focus on drunk driving as a health issue.
If we focused the same way on abortion perhaps the number could fall the same way deaths by drunk driving did.”

“I suppose I'd have a lot more respect for the Pro-Life movement if the most vocal supporters actually listened to the women who have had abortions, and examined why they've had them. Do you know what they'd say? I had it done because I couldn't afford to have a child. (Google:Reasons U.S. Women Have Abortions:
Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives in Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health, Guttmacher Institute, New York)
Once the Pro-Life movement moves away from showing graphic pictures that work on fear, and into opening low cost day care centers then the dialogue on abortion will change.”

Why Rove Attacks Eric Holder: To Provide Cover for Bush's Pardons
Commented Dec 15, 2008 at 09:21:46 in Politics
“I'll respectfully disagree with you on this point. The power of Presidential pardon is very useful. John F. Kennedy used it to pardon people who were convicted of crimes under the Narcotics Act of 1956. First time offenders were give harsh mandatory minimum sentences for drug offenses. Jimmy Carter pardoned Vietnam draft dodgers.
Now with that being said, since President Clinton, the power to pardon has come under well deserved scrutiny. I believe we can still have this system, but there needs to be some checks and balances built into it.”

“I agree. President Carter made good use of his power to commute the sentence of Patricia Hearst for crimes she had "willingly" committed after months of brainwashing. At the time of her trial the phenomenon of "Stockholm Syndrome" was not understood and her sentencing was completely unjust -- she is the only person ever tried and convicted under such circumstances.
Also, get ready to laugh, everyone - Now-jailed former IL Gov. George Ryan was RIGHT to set a moratorium on executions and commute all death sentences in the state. It upset many people who cry for "Closure" but our state has shown over and over again that it cannot handle the grave responsibility.”

“As for chuckling or calling you names, nope.. That's not my style.. I admire your honesty and your willingness to state your principles so clearly and let the chips fall where they may.. Not many would have your courage..
I just think that, in today's world, such sentiments, while brave and admirable to be sure, is tantamount to societal suicide..
Don't get me wrong... If EVERYONE felt this way, then your sentiments would work...
But there are very evil people in this world who would take advantage of such a mindset. And, in doing so would brutally murder thousands or even millions of innocent men, women and children..
Surely those innocents are worthy of your concern as well?? No??

“So, you have to prevent a terrorist from detonating a nuke in a city that will kill millions. To do this, all you need to do is detain 100 men for 48 hours. 1 of the men is a terrorist and the other 99 are completely innocent.
So, you say that you would rather let that one guilty man go free and murder millions of innocent men women and children, rather than inconvenience 99 innocent men for a couple days.
Is that what you are truly saying???
